• Inaugural Article: The secondary contact phase of allopatric speciation in Darwin's finches (2009, unknown): “Beak size, with known ecological function of food handling (31, 32), is also a key component of the barrier as it signals species identity in a reproductive context (33).”
• The problem of pattern and scale in ecology: what have we learned in 20 years? (2013, background): “Further, beak size conditions the ability of the bird to crack seeds open, the major food income of G fortis (Herrel et al. 2005).”
• Beak morphology and song features covary in a population of Darwin’s finches (Geospiza fortis) (2006, background): “In Darwin’s finches beak size is related to bite force (Herrel et al., 2005a; b), and individuals with different beak sizes preferentially feed on food items of different hardness (Abbott, Abbott & Grant, 1977).”
• Mechanics of bite force production and its relationship to diet in bats (2010, unknown): “2001c, Herrel & Holanova 2008b), Darwin’s finches (Herrel et al. 2005), and bats (Aguirre et al.”
• Force–velocity trade‐off in Darwin's finch jaw function: a biomechanical basis for ecological speciation? (2009, background): “Here we can turn to G. fortis, which shows unusually wide variation in beak size (Grant 1999; Hendry et al. 2006), bite force (Herrel et al. 2005a), vocal performance (Podos 2001; Huber & Podos 2006), and jaw movement velocity (present study).”
